In C.E. 70, ZAFT introduces its first aerial combat mobile suit, the AMF-101 DINN. In later years, ZAFT creates several reconnaissance variations, including the AME-WAC01 DINN Special Electronic Installation Type and AMF-103A DINN RAVEN. In addition to those two, ZAFT also produces the AMRF-101C AWACS DINN. The AWACS DINN replaces the chest missile launchers with searchlights. The back is equipped with a sensor radome, and the flight mode's "helmet" has been modified to include additional sensor equipment. As a reconnaissance unit, the AWACS DINN is armed only with the machine gun and anti-aircraft shotgun used by the standard DINN. Several AWACS DINN units are used to locate the rogue battleship Archangel after ZAFT initiates Operation Angel Down.
